Just Mortgages has announced the launch of a new equity release proposition.

The broker firm has trained 13 self-employed advisers who are qualified and licensed to offer expert advice on equity release products.

Just Mortgages said the new proposition follows a successful trial period and confirmed that it will now offer an intensive academy for self-employed brokers that want to advise on equity release.

All Just Mortgages area directors have been through the training programme, so they can advise self-employed brokers that are considering taking the course, which takes six to eight weeks to acquire an equity release certification.

Just Mortgages regional director, Ashley Edwards, commented: “Equity release is a growing market and by qualifying to advise, Just Mortgages’ brokers can offer holistic later life lending. Some brokers just specialise in equity release, however, Just Mortgages’ brokers can advise on all areas of later life borrowing.

“Equity release is not always the right option, by qualifying, brokers have the option to advise in this area when it is the right decision. Whether it is passing down a deposit to younger family members, or travelling the world in retirement, equity release can be a great option to access funds.”

Just Mortgages is running equity release academies throughout the year and announced an aim to have 25 brokers qualified and licensed by the end of 2022.
